THIS WEEK'S PICTURE VERSE
for an alphabetical listing of articles
THIS WEEK'S
WORD OF ADMONITION:
Jesus Christ verbally demolished man-made religious ideas and systems in His teachings, especially as recorded in Matthew 23.
Following priests, bishops, elders, pastors, churches and other religious institutions of men,
has nothing whatsoever to do
with Jesus Christ.
THIS WEEK’S CHURCH
CATCHPHRASE
“Sheep need shepherds”
Definition: 1) “Pastors” NEED “church members” or they are out of business.
“All sheep need shepherds to take care
of them!”
STOP giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.
1 Timothy 4:1
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Ecclesiastes 7:20
See the truth come to life!
THIS WEEK'S
"The Pastoral Office"
“The first day of the week for worship is rooted in the fourth commandment.”
The Apostasy of Christendom
For many centuries the hireling shepherds of the religious world have fed their followers upon a steady diet of something called “Christianity,” but which, when it is analyzed bears little relationship to the blessed Son of God. What we see on every hand is only the apostasy of Christendom, the popular religion of the western world, centering in institutions called the church.
In order to give it importance, its leaders and teachers have not hesitated to give it a place of essentiality along with the Lord Jesus and a place of supremacy over the Word of God.
However, it is my conviction that if the Lord Jesus were to appear upon the earth, He would disown and denounce the professing church and enter into fellowship with those individual believers who gave Him and Him alone the place of preeminence and
all-sufficiency.
The majority give Christ NO place, the professing church give Him A place, a very few give Him THE place of preeminence and all-sufficiency.
I take my place and cast my lot with the few.
Otis Q. Sellers (1901-1992)
Why is there no command in the New Testament for Christians to keep the Sabbath holy?
